Can't argue on the rebounding; Anderson's 13.4 rebound percentage ranks 39th out of 101 qualified forwards this season. But let's not get carried away and call Anderson a "well-rounded offensive threat"--he takes 55.2 percent of his shots from beyond the arc, scores 54.2 percent of his points by way of the longball, and needs to be assisted on 75 percent of his made field goals. He's currently touching the ball only 0.68 times per minute (of which he eventually shoots or draws a foul 72 percent of the time) and is assisting on a microscopic 5.4% of teammate baskets when in the game. His Bullard-esque 4.6 3PM/TOV ratio speaks to his penchant for the pure catch-and-shoot. Yes, he's also a plus offensive rebounder, but the rest of his game screams "shooting specialist". Anderson hasn't really become more multi-dimensional this season ... he's simply enjoying the greatest three-point specialist season in NBA history.

To illustrate, let's look at every season in NBA history where a player:

In fact, Reggie Miller (who had a 129.6 ORtg on 21.6 percent of possessions in 1991) is the only other player since 1974 to have a season with an ORtg greater than 128 while taking on more than 20% of team possessions.

Anderson's tendency numbers haven't really changed in 2012, though--it's just that he's taking advantage of his chances more efficiently. He's still a three-point specialist, but he's playing at the absolute highest level that any three-point specialist has ever played.
